I always make Jim smile for the camera! No, he's a happy chap most of the time. We keep smiling.<br /><br />Weaver, yes, the blackcurrants keep on coming here too. We picked a load more today. Our strawberries have about finished and we don't have that many raspberries. They taste delicious though, I agree.<br /><br />Thanks Crafty Green Poet, the trouble with the curlews flying over is that the camera can't focus on them easily. I was pleased with the ones I achieved. Sandy and BlackJack are almost a year and a half old now but still behave like kittens and they're not big cats.BThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800917080090010655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224955469243279371.post-82318180170331255802009-07-09T19:59:56.162+01:002009-07-09T19:59:56.162+01:00the jam does look tasty.

I also pinch the peas. We had our first cooked ones tonight. What a good idea re the car!<br /><br />Oh Linda, I'm so glad you like the ATC, I worried it was a bit plain. Thanks for the compliments.<br /><br />Hi Carol, thanks, the lady with the flowers is a card I received from someone, not an ATC. It's hard to tell size in the photos. Glad you like my 'jumping for joy'.<br /><br />Thanks Jason, and Rachel, the allotment's the best it's been.<br /><br />Hello Mildred, I'm afraid my cats and dog would turn their noses up at peas!! The jelly is gorgeous.<br /><br />Lisa, I'm glad you liked the scarlet pea blooms, they are so pretty. I'm glad the lirope spreads, I need things that do that!<br /><br />Thanks Arija, gardens are wonderful as long as we don't get your drought.<br /><br />Hello blushing rose. Aha, lots of stone walls here! We have stone everywhere, we'll have a lot more soon as our old barn has to be demolished as it's unsafe.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments Heather. I hope it'll be fine tomorrow as we still have blackcurrants to pick, or they'll be too ripe. <br /><br />Heckety, sorry, I don't mean to make you green!! You'll look like The Hulk! Home made jam is lovely anytime but I know what you mean about it in the winter. Of course you can use some of my flower photos, I'd be honoured. I'm enjoying your 'Timeless Treasures' and think you have probably got it just about right.

I'm working on the content, trying not to make it too twee or prissy, but any suggestions gratefully received! I was going to ask if I could use one of your flower photos as they are so gorgeous. All I've managed to grow this summer is one moth-eaten miniature rose flower!!!Apart from the veg!Hecketyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065779986583259061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224955469243279371.post-40319449918653018472009-07-08T22:47:55.136+01:002009-07-08T22:47:55.136+01:00I think I'm greener than your allotment- with ...I think I'm greener than your allotment- with envy! Confession- I eat my carrots straight out of the ground which kinda prevents them growing very large. When we lived in the Aberdares, Kenya, the elephant used to come through at night and dig up and eat the carrots and cabbages. So does that make me an elephant?<br />Love your cards, various- you know you're going to need a lot more of those great holders...why bother to tile the bathroom? Paper and laminate the walls with your fun cards! And your jelly is all set for the winter, I think home-made jelly and jams are the taste of summer- they warm your soul in the deeps of winter.Hecketyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065779986583259061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224955469243279371.post-66812317499037886892009-07-08T17:09:48.467+01:002009-07-08T17:09:48.467+01:00Forgot to say how much I like your ATC - it's ...Forgot to say how much I like your ATC - it's great fun.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224955469243279371.post-67078763515581456092009-07-08T17:09:05.189+01:002009-07-08T17:09:05.189+01:00Lovely home grown produce - you can't beat it....Lovely home grown produce - you can't beat it. I have one of those black leaved plants - can't remember it's name - they are very striking among other foliage. Your vegs are looking fantastic. Hope you enjoy the asparagus peas - I grew some a few years back and they are so pretty. I shall be busy in the garden on Friday, weather permitting, as I'm out all day tomorrow. There is always plenty to do out there.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224955469243279371.post-86910812223474995452009-07-08T15:55:09.811+01:002009-07-08T15:55:09.811+01:00Num-num jelly!

Remember the good ol' days when I used to make jam, jelly, homemade breads, etc. <br /><br />We have a lady a few miles up the road from Ireland that started collecting stones, yup! The next thing we knew she had this huge fence built from stones that is gorgeous. When we went to Ireland we saw all the stone fencings ... they were so pretty. <br /><br />TTFN~Marydonblushing rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14185573384597526789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224955469243279371.post-32804831068208231442009-07-08T13:09:16.568+01:002009-07-08T13:09:16.568+01:00What a rich post!
